– WWE Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel recently spoke with Brian Soscia about what advice The Rock would offer him after their training sessions:

“After we’d get done training… he would spend time with me, the guy’s attention to detail is so amazing to me. He’s one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. So to have him take the time to help me, to pick my brain and to figure out what I’m thinking about, that’s amazing to me. I was just down there to help him, but he in turn helped me.”

He also commented on training with Brock Lesnar:

“I did the same with Brock Lesnar. He’s [Lesnar] got a whole different mindset when it comes to this business. So for me to get in the ring with both of those guys, and to have them help me… plus now I have Paul Heyman… I’m having the time of my life right now.”

And to think just how excited everyone got, myself included, about him working with these guys and the possibility it held of getting him on the main roster finally. Only to have him fail completely at getting over and at being an interesting character in anyway. Its a shame considering his wrestling lineage, and the fact that as an in ring performer, he’s technically sound in every way.
